RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council (1) approve a Residential Permit Parking Request for the 11400 block of Diller Avenue; and (2) authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to implement the new restrictions.
BACKGROUND
The current Procedures and Regulations for Residential Permit Parking Districts (Regulations) were adopted by the City Council in November 2013 (Attachment 1). The Regulations provide two types of pre-approved parking restrictions at all parking districts citywide. Section 7.3 of the Regulations allows residents to request parking restrictions that are outside of the two pre-approved restrictions via a petition with 75% approval and validated by a parking study.
For an area to be considered excessively impacted, Section 7.3.1 of the Regulations recommends that the parking study should be conducted, and the resulting data should indicate an on-street occupancy rate of 75% or more.
DISCUSSION
On October 27, 2024, City staff received a request from residents of the 11400 block of Diller Avenue to implement permit-only parking restrictions on their streets within parking District 8 (see Attachment 2). The requested restrictions are Permit-Only; Saturday and Sunday; 10 AM to 5 PM for residents and visitors vehicles displaying a valid parking permit for District 8. The restrictions only apply to the residential side of the street.
City staff received a petition and signatures from residents of 11400 block of Diller Avenue. The petition documents clearly indicate the requested parking restriction, and the costs associated with enrolling in the City’s Residential Permit Parking Program. City staff verified the signatures and concluded that the petition passed with 100% of the residents being in favor of the proposed parking restrictions. A letter of support from CCUSD to the residents was also provided (see Attachment 3).
A parking occupancy study was conducted on the street from December 15 to December 16, 2024. The study counted the number of vehicles parked on each street at various times during each day. The parking occupancy data did not meet the 75% requirement threshold. A subsequent petition was submitted and approved via administrative approval for the pre-approved restriction of Permit-Only; Daily - 5 PM to 2 AM. This restriction was implemented in March 2025.
Another parking occupancy study was conducted on the street from November 1 to November 2, 2025. The parking occupancy data did meet the 75% requirement threshold during the survey period (see Attachment 4).
After reviewing the parking data and all correspondence and documents provided by the residents, the parking occupancy study was approved by the Public Works Director/City Engineer on December 8, 2025. The approval was made in accordance with Section 3.C of the Regulations that provide the City Engineer sole discretion based on engineering judgement.
Staff recommends, that the City Council consider the parking restrictions as requested by the residents.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 includes sufficient funding for the purchase of parking restriction signs needed to implement the proposed restrictions in Account No. 10160210.514100 (Streets Division - Departmental Special Supplies) which can be found in the Public Works section of the budget book on page 502.
